Simon Tucker-Brown joins recruitment consultants Berkeley Scott

Tucker-Brown will oversee the re-established isis brand which Berkeley Scott says will enable the company to respond to changes in the economy and further extend its client portfolio from its core business of predominantly operational staff, chefs and general management, into new executive level markets. In a statement the company described its new recruit as, "a highly accomplished search and selection specialist with an impressive record of delivery". Adding that Tucker-Brown spent 12 years in a number of senior positions in the hotel industry. Berkeley Scott said it has also witnessed over the past quarter a 350% increase in the number of clients approaching them about senior management, as businesses come to recognise that the strategic leadership that they previously had needs to be reinstated or in some circumstances changed. Economic commentators recognise that companies looking at their executive structures is a sign of positivity within the employment market as a whole and moreover in the hospitality industry. "Re-establishing isis is about Berkeley Scott giving a strong commitment to, and demonstrating our confidence in, the growth of the market, the wider industry and our own business," said Mark Darby, managing director of Berkeley Scott.
